  • How Linktree is simplifying the content creator experience

    According to a Linktree report, over 200 million creators are competing for market share. Many of these creators post on multiple social media platforms and need a space to consolidate their links for viewers to access. That's where Linktree intervenes. Linktree Co-Founder and CEO Alex Zaccaria joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the creator economy and how Linktree helps creators navigate a crowded space. Zaccaria explains the crowded landscape creators find themselves in: "It's pretty unnerving right now for creators, where they're building their audience on these platforms. They're competing with algorithms, they're competing with AI, they're competing with the ability to own their content. And they're competing with the potential for those platforms to maybe go away, where, where they have built their audience. And so, they are looking to build their own shops, and be able to build, sell their products on their Linktree. And that's another revenue stream coming up."

  • Why these mid-caps are the place to invest: Strategist

    The Dow Jones (^DJI) closed higher for the fifth week in a row, this time above 40,000. Hennessy Funds CIO and Portfolio Manager Ryan Kelley and RBC Capital Markets US Economist Michael Reid join Market Domination Overtime to discuss what it could signal for the overall state of the economy. Kelley believes the record high is fueled by anticipation of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, as well as easing concerns of a recession. Reid says that the economy is experiencing several tailwinds as retirement portfolios increase in value and Baby Boomers start to use those assets. Higher interest rates are also boosting the overall wealth of higher-income individuals and HVAC and building companies.

  • The story behind the surge in silver, copper, and gold

    Copper (HG=F) and Silver (SI=F) have both risen to new highs as demand increases for these metals, while Gold (GC=F) also rises as China's Ministry of Finance proceeds with a stimulus plan involving the sale of $138 billion worth of ultra-long special sovereign bonds. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into metals and how the markets might trade moving forward. McGlone elaborates on what could happen with silver as China looks to buy many precious metals: "There's potential rumors that, we know China has been the biggest buyer of gold, not just Chinese Central Bank, but citizens. There may be some hoarding of silver, but the key thing I'm more worried about silver is that it might follow that path, that autocorrelation path in copper which spikes and then goes back down. In the macro, the big picture, though, I'm very favorable in terms of commodities, most favorable to metals versus most other commodities.

  • Booking Holdings versus Disney: Why only one is a buy

    Consumers are increasingly becoming choosier about where they are spending their dollars. One arena that could see an impact is leisure spending. In the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, Main Street Research Chief Investment Officer James Demmert says Booking Holdings is a stock worth adding to your portfolio, while Walt Disney may be one you want to skip. Demmert likes Booking Holdings (BKNG) because of its growth and "consistent" high profit margins. Demmert argues the company has built a "moat" around its business model, building up a "hard-to-penetrate market share." He also notes it has a good valuation. What would make Demmert have concerns about the stock? A recession or pandemic.  On the flip side, Demmert is not a fan of Disney (DIS). One of his big concerns is management, specifically that current CEO Bob Iger may be unable to fix the damage done by former CEO Bob Chapek. Demmert is also concerned about the amount of money being spent on content and thinks the stock is overvalued. He says a couple of things could turn Disney into a buy — a change in strategy or the company becoming a takeover target.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

  • Nvidia's long-term growth is uncertain: Analyst

    Nvidia (NVDA) will post its first quarter earnings for the 2024 fiscal year next week, with many on Wall Street watching closely as the tech giant led recent rallies in the tech sector. One of the chip giant's competitors, AMD (AMD), has just partnered with Microsoft (MSFT) to offer its products to Microsoft's cloud computing customers. Wedbush Equity Research SVP Matt Bryson and Truist Securities Managing Director William Stein join Market Domination to give insight into what investors should expect from Nvidia's earnings, how AMD stands in the sector, and how investors should navigate the chip sectors. Stein argues that Nvidia's short-term future is most likely successful, but uncertainty mounts down the line: "I think certainly they're going to beat this quarter. And I think they're going to beat in the out quarter guide as well. But I think the real question is what happens through this year and into next year's numbers. Does the company give us an indication that we're going to continue to see growth and very strong demand, both for units and for integrated systems, where the company is getting the growth from?"

  • Why markets may be headed for a 'mild' recession: Strategist

    After April's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data signaled that inflation may be cooling, some on Wall Street grew optimistic that the Federal Reserve might cut rates before the year's end. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman spoke on Friday repeating her previous stance that she would not rule out rate hikes if inflation remains elevated. Crossmark Global Investments CEO and CIO Bob Doll joins Market Domination to give insight into the Fed's potential policy decisions and why he believes the market is headed for a "mild recession." Doll elaborates on the current market conditions that shape his view: "We got the leading economic indicators today, and they were down again. We've had one month up in the last couple of years. A week ago, we got the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index, and not only are lower end consumers struggling, but now some mid-income consumers are struggling. It's just the high-end that's doing well. And, of course, inflation expectations in that same survey went up a bunch. So I don't think all is as clear as we might like it to be in a market where you got to pay over 20 times earnings.
